Housing Act 2004
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
140 Contents of overcrowding notices
(1) An overcrowding notice must state in relation to each room in the HMO concerned— (a) what the local housing authority consider to be the maximum number of persons by whom the room is suitable to be occupied as sleeping accommodation at any one time; or (b) that the local housing authority consider that the room is unsuitable to be occupied as sleeping accommodation. (2) An overcrowding notice may specify special maxima applicable where some or all of the persons occupying a room are under such age as may be specified in the notice. (3) An overcrowding notice must contain— (a) the requirement prescribed by section 141 (not to permit excessive number of persons to sleep in the house in multiple occupation); or (b) the requirement prescribed by section 142 (not to admit new residents if number of persons is excessive). (4) The local housing authority may at any time— (a) withdraw an overcrowding notice which has been served on any person and which contains the requirement prescribed by section 142, and (b) serve on him instead an overcrowding notice containing the requirement prescribed by section 141.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
